WASHINGTON March 26.- Especial Tele-
gram to the BEE. l--Politicians say the cam
paign for presidential nominations will open
earlier this time than for many years because
neither of the leading parties have the largest
number of men to select from, and because
all are anxious that the strongest OF the as
pirants shall be selected. Senator Malone,
OF Virginia, and Sergeant-at-Arms Canaday,
of North Carolina have taken charge OF Sem
ator Sherman's boom In the south, while
Ohio republicans intend soon to get together
10 assume control Of the east and west. 1t Is
stated toni sht that one Of the first moves
will be to put Mr.. Malone in position to be
chairman of the national committee in place OF
Mr.. Jones. OF Pttsburg, Pa, and that In this
will come the first contest between the Sher-
man and Blaine forces, which are in the main
antagonistic. II is we'll known that Senator
. Allison, Of Iowa, is the second choice
of Mr.. Blaine, and there Is the
highest authority for saying that Mr.. Sher.
man prefers Mr.. Allison to any other man
than himself. 1t is not improbable, there
fore, that compromise will be effected be-
tween the Sherman and Blaine elements,
should the contest wage warm this winter.
and that the lowan will be the man elected
to represent the two factions and bring both
together. Ex-senator Conkling and Robert
G. Ingersoll have both stated to politicians
within the past two weeks that II Mr. ALL
son Is nominated they will cheerfully take
the stump and work from the first to the last
day of the campaign for him. This, the re-
pudlicans are saying tonight, will have
good deal in bringing about the proposed
compromise. One thing all agree upon this
early, and that is that the preliminary cam
paign will not be permitted to 20 along until
there Is anything like breach in the
1anks. All are determined to win,
and are ready for any reasonable
arrangement to put the party upon the fore
most footing from the start. 1t is reported
that Mr.. Blaine will be in the west in very
few days for the purpose of meeting friends
who have suggestions relating to his political
future. and that it will be suggested that Mr..
Allison will be given his strength.
